Chapter 429

Fireballs burst in the air like strings, seemingly swallowing Lin Zhen, but not a single one could touch him.

“Pop, pop, pop, pop!”

In a flash of dense spear light, Lin Zhen grabbed Zi Qianxia and quickly moved from the area, flying onto the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

“You’ve successfully broken through! What kind of spear technique was that just now?”

Facing Zi Qianxia’s question, Lin Zhen just smiled without speaking.

Indeed, he had succeeded. At the last moment when the meteor fell, the meteor in his Dantian finally formed its own orbit, truly entering the Meteor Stage.

From Star Core Peak to the Meteor Stage, Lin Zhen’s Star Power doubled again, greatly advancing his strength.

At the last moment, Lin Zhen also comprehended a new spear technique.

Meteor!

A swift spear with countless changes, capable of thousands of strikes per second.

This was Lin Zhen’s current trump card, the ultimate weapon during regular battles, unparalleled in power when combined with Unbreakable.

“Qianxia, thank you for just now. If it weren’t for you desperately blocking the meteors, I might have been seriously injured or killed. It would have been impossible for me to think about breaking through in a short period.”

Zi Qianxia felt her palm warm and realized that Lin Zhen was holding her hand. Her face flushed slightly and she withdrew her hand.

“It’s only right. I’m your slave; how can I not protect you?”

“Don’t mention slaves anymore. I feel that you’re about to break through, too. Do you have any concerns? Are you worried that I’ll go back on my word and not give you freedom? Rest assured, I’ll give you freedom right now. If you want to leave, I won’t stop you.”

Lin Zhen immediately revoked Zi Qianxia’s slave chip and issued her a knight chip instead, making her a noble as well.

“I know this identity is still not compatible with you. If you can get a better identity in the future, you can change it.”

Zi Qianxia looked at everything Lin Zhen had done, and lowered her head without speaking.

“Go break through. If you want to leave, you can.”

After saying that, Lin Zhen turned around and didn’t say anything else to Zi Qianxia.

After a while, a fragrant breeze fluttered, and Zi Qianxia disappeared, probably to find a place to break through.

Lin Zhen sighed softly. This deal was worthwhile. Zi Qianxia was able to help him break through to the Meteor Stage, which was priceless. As for where Zi Qianxia would go in the future, Lin Zhen respected her choice.

He stayed on Mars for three more days, stabilizing his Meteor Stage realm.

On the third day, Zi Qianxia returned.

Not only had she advanced to the Late Black Hole Stage, but she was also facing another breakthrough, not far from the Star System Stage.

Her rapid cultivation speed amazed Lin Zhen.

After returning, Zi Qianxia came to Lin Zhen’s side and said just one sentence.

“Until I have the strength to return to my hometown and take revenge, I will stay by your side.”

Lin Zhen smiled in relief; he hadn’t misjudged her.

It was time to return to Earth. With his main body advancing, his clone naturally advanced to the Planet Stage. Lin Zhen had to respond to the challenges inside his territory.

Blue Bay Star.

This planet was ten times larger than Earth, and the Four Great Holy Nations ruled it.

Recently, the Martial Artists’ forum here had been bustling.

There was a way for Martial Artists to prove their strength: by challenging Lords.

In the eyes of those on Blue Bay Star, their technological and cultivation civilization greatly surpassed Earth’s. Even if there were Lords, they should have appeared on their own planet. How could a low-ranked Earthling like Lin Zhen lead them?

The warriors on the planet were angry. They launched challenges to Lin Zhen in the Dimensional Universe one after another.

Starting with a man named Cao Yang from the Azure Dragon Holy Nation, Lin Zhen ignored him, and then the second, third, hundredth, and thousandth challengers came.

Lin Zhen didn’t pay attention to anyone, which only fueled the arrogance of the Blue Bay Star people.

The internet was filled with ridicule, bashing the Lord’s incompetence.

Even some Martial Artists trying to woo girls would show them a screenshot: “Look, even the Lord doesn’t dare to accept my challenge. Don’t you think I’m the most reliable man?”

Three months passed, and just as the fervor had slightly died down, Lin Zhen, the cheap Lord, surprisingly wanted to levy taxes on the Blue Bay Star!

This stirred a thousand-layer wave, and the Martial Artists of Blue Bay Star erupted in rage.

“This kid Lin Zhen is too arrogant! What gives him the right to tax us?”

“It’s laughable, a person who can’t even come to his own territory wants to tax us? Don’t make us laugh our teeth out!”

“Stop talking! Let’s see if Lin Zhen can collect our taxes when my sword doesn’t agree!”

“Save it, that shrinking turtle Lin Zhen doesn’t have the guts. If he dared to accept challenges, he would have accepted long ago.”

“I guess if we don’t give him taxes, he’ll sue us in the Empire, haha!”

“Then let’s fight the lawsuit. Let’s see if he has the guts to come and get it himself, useless!”

The Martial Artists of Blue Bay Star were arrogant. In their eyes, Lin Zhen definitely wouldn’t dare to accept their challenges, because even when the other Martial Artists who were less powerful than them challenged Lin Zhen, he didn’t accept either. This was an incompetent Lord.

So in order to prove their courage, the martial artists didn’t care about their own strength and all sent challenges to Lin Zhen in the Asura Arena!

Three days passed, and Lin Zhen still hadn’t responded.

At this point, the people of Blue Bay Star were already scoffing at Lin Zhen, and some even prepared to advise Long Juetian, the Emperor of the Tianhe Empire, to replace the unqualified Lord Lin Zhen.

But what no one expected was that today, Lin Zhen suddenly accepted the challenge!

A letter from the Lord appeared on the forum of Blue Bay Star.

“People of Blue Bay Star, I am your Lord Lin Zhen. Recently, I have been too busy dealing with trivial matters in my territory, and I have not responded to you. Considering your disrespect towards me, I hereby make the following decisions.”

“First, starting today, the tax on Blue Bay Star will be doubled, to be paid immediately, with a 10% increase per day for late payment!”

“Second, the four Great Holy Nations of Blue Bay Star will be under the management of the Earth Office, and the transfer of power will begin immediately.”

“Third, I will send people to supervise Blue Bay Star, so please be prepared to receive them.”

“Moreover, during this time, too many people have been provoking me in the Asura Arena. Today I will spare some time to play with you!”

Afterward, Lin Zhen made a shocking move.

He accepted the challenges of the martial artists of Blue Bay Star!

Lin Zhen didn’t accept the martial artist challenges at the time, but he didn’t refuse either, so the challenge messages were still there.

Lin Zhen checked and found that there were more than 8,000 challengers from Blue Bay Star!

He immediately ordered Chris: “Accept them all and use your system to analyze their strength from low to high. Don’t miss any of them!”

Chris immediately began working and completed the task within a few seconds.

“Master, it’s ready. When will the battles begin?”

Lin Zhen was not in a hurry, but rather, took many of his subordinates and headed towards the Permanent Crystal Spaceship.

Those who went with Lin Zhen included Zi Qianxia, Zi Shisan and Shiqi, as well as 50 Constant Star Stage experts and 300 Planet Stage experts.

He was now going to Blue Bay Star, and now that the decision had been made, he would completely subdue this planet.

Blue Bay Star was about four million Star Power away from Earth, which would be approximately five months at the speed of light.

Traveling through the parallel universe, it would only take a day to arrive, but Lin Zhen was not in a hurry, as he wanted to complete the challenges on the way.

After boarding the spaceship, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship started and set off for Blue Bay Star according to the interstellar coordinates.

“Alright, let’s get ready to accept the challenges.”

The spaceship entered space, and Lin Zhen accepted the challenges.

The martial artists of Blue Bay Star were boiling again!

They didn’t expect the turtle-like Lord to actually dare to accept the challenges!

These martial artists immediately began a new round of clamoring, showing off screenshots of Lin Zhen accepting their challenges on the internet.

“Lin Zhen, I’m coming for you!”

“What kind of shitty lord are you? I’ll teach you a lesson today!”

“I’m going to show you that Earth and Blue Bay Star aren’t even in the same league, and you’re not qualified to be arrogant here!”

“Come on, everyone, let’s watch the fight in the Asura Arena. I’m number 18 in the challengers’ line-up. You’ll see me beating Lin Zhen soon.”

“Sigh, it’s my bad luck to be ranked over a thousand. By the time it’s my turn, Lin Zhen will have lost his desire to fight due to the beatings from you guys.”

Tickets were sold for the Asura Arena, and news of Lin Zhen’s acceptance of challenges attracted not only the martial artists of Blue Bay Star but also those of Earth, and even people from other planets in the Solar Domain.

However, Lin Zhen had booked the entire arena, and the martial artists of Earth could watch for free.

As the virtual arena was infinitely large, the number of spectators in the Solar Domain could not be calculated once the news spread.

Especially in the first match, the Asura Arena was making a fortune from ticket sales.

Lin Zhen’s first challenger was a martial artist named Wang Bojie from the Vermilion Bird Holy Nation of Blue Bay Star, at Satellite Level 1.

When he found out that he was the first challenger, he was overjoyed!

The first battle was definitely the most attention-grabbing, and in his eyes, Lin Zhen was just a Satellite Stage martial artist, not much different from himself in strength. If he could defeat Lin Zhen in this battle, he would become extremely famous!

The various benefits that fame would bring didn’t need to be explained, so this was a huge opportunity.

He called all his friends and acquaintances to watch the Asura Arena battle.

At the agreed-upon time, people in the Dimensional Universe saw a flash before their eyes, and everyone took their seats in the Asura Arena.

Regardless of where they sat, everything inside the arena could be seen clearly.

The center of the arena was a huge circular stage with a diameter of one kilometer, and the surrounding seats were boundless. Roughly estimated, there were definitely more than 10 billion viewers!

Lin Zhen appeared in the Asura Arena first.

Dressed in silver, Lin Zhen stood in the middle of the Asura Arena with his hands behind his back.

At the start of the battle, Lin Zhen addressed the spectators first, “To all the people watching the fight, you all come from the Solar Domain. Today, I am here in the Asura Arena to accept the challenges of the martial artists of Blue Bay Star. In total, there are 8,120 matches. If I lose any of them, my demands towards Blue Bay Star will be null and void. If I win them all, you people from various Life Stars better listen up: immediately make up for the double tax payment, or don’t blame me for being an unkind Lord!”
